Imagine if one of these had been yours.  Statistics prove that it could have been.  IDC have reported that 97% of business have been victim of laptop theft.

George Foot, VP Kensington Europe: "Most laptop theft is opportunistic and can be prevented by using a laptop lock.  Making locking on part of your morning routine, just like grabbing a coffee whilst your laptop boots, will go a long way to help protect your colleagues, your customers and your credibility."
